Herbal remedies scare report: let's get the facts right
Tuesday 16th February 2010 9:45am
The Complementary HealthCare Council of Australia reponds to recent mdeia regarding the safety of complementary medicines.
Herbal remedies scare report: let's get the facts straight
Setting the record straight on the recent scare report on herbal medicines by a South Australian academic, the Complementary HealthCare Council of Australia (CHC) said today that much of the report was ill-informed, misleading and irresponsible — and most importantly, not relevant to complementary medicine products sold in Australia, which are among the most tightly regulated in the world.
The organisation warns Australian consumers to be aware of the real dangers of buying herbal or other complementary medicine (CM) products when overseas or via websites based in other countries, where safety and quality standards often are considered to be inferior to those imposed in Australia.

A Day at the Races
Project Dolphin Safe and South Australian Seabird Rescue would like to invite you to our annual fundraising event - A Day at the Races - with hats and horses, sunshine and champers.
Last years Project Dolphin Safe event was a roaring success raising over $55,000. Pure Envy diamonds were won, balloons were popped, people flew around the room to the smooth tunes of Lucifers Lounge and held their sides as Gerry O kept us laughing and perhaps on the edge of screaming "too soon!".
It will be an afternoon to remember with a fabulous 3 course meal and 4 hour drinks package.
The day includes fashion parade by Tanya Powell, live body painting by Emma Hack, bookie Hollywood Syd and live/silent auctions.
Where: South Australian Jockey Club (SAJC), Morphettville Racecourse, Adelaide
When: Saturday, 6th February, 2010
Time: 12:00 - 17:00

Recent research into complementary medicines
Tuesday 8th December 2009 8:25am
Vitamin E and pregnancy
Recent Dutch research published in International journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology points towards some potential problems with high vitamin E levels during pregnancy. This included high dietary intake or through supplementation.
This research showed that mothers with high dietary Vitamin E intake had a 70% increased risk of having a child born with a heart defect. High dietary intake plus supplementation increased the risk up to 9 fold.
Vitamin D
Along with the well known effects of Vitamin D deficiency on bone deposition evidence is emerging that Vitamin D is important in many more areas than this.
Some Californian research found a link between low D levels and obesity although they weren’t able to come up with a reason why this might be so. It might be as simple as higher D levels might be an indicator of more time spent outside, presumably exercising. However there might be more to it.
Similarly, an English study found a correlation between lo

David Gomer gets bronze in the World Masters
Friday 13th November 2009 4:52pm

Long time Herb Valley cycling stalwart David Gomer tasted success at the 2009 Masters World Cylcing Championships for the second successive year.
Herb Valley has sponsored David for more years than any of us care to admit or remember and he took away his second succesive bronze medal from the UCI Track Cycling Masters World Championships in Sydney. David, 56, finished third in the 2000m inidividual pursuit for the 55-59 year age group. We like to think that our supplements have a lot to do with David's success and longetivitiy but equally his 60-90km a day cyclcing program has a lot to do with it. |
